What is Cade Horton's walk-up song?
Cade Horton's walk-up song is "Superstar (feat. Matthew Santos)" by Lupe Fiasco, last confirmed in 2026 with the Chicago Cubs. Hear the 30-second preview below before picking it for your own team. Horton plays pitcher and wears #22. As a pitcher, Horton's song plays as he takes the mound — his entrance music and walk-up song are one and the same. Confirmed on the official MLB walk-up music page (2026-10-15).
Wrigley Field walkup music is constrained by the stadium's quirky old PA system — songs with cleaner mixes work much better than bass-heavy tracks. For more on the Cubs' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Chicago Cubs walkup page.

Whether you coach Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a star like Horton is one of the cleanest ways to give a kid confidence at the plate. The trick: most MLB walkups need a careful trim point — the 15-second window is rarely the song's first 15 seconds.
